Emma's Place

TestimonialFrom Fran S. Newman:"Emma's Place-Staten Island Grief & Loss Center for Children and Families is absolutely a great place! My granddaughter is Emma and she has made amazing breakthroughs going through her grief and loss process. We needed this on Staten Island! Thanks to all who have been a part of helping Emma and still are helping Emma get through some rough times. I am forever grateful."

Its purpose is to facilitate healing through grief and loss education, including individual and group counseling, family talk and play, art therapies and special events.

Our Vision:

A free-standing, independent grief and loss center, supported by the compassion and generosity of community funding, and therefore dedicated to having the capabilities to support the growing needs of the community. Emma's Place will become the primary resource for local grief and loss education.

Testimonial: " I couldn't have made it through this year without Karen's insight, compassion and guidance. She helped me to feel human again and to rebuild my life (and my children's lives) after my husband had died. She was so nurturing and creative with my children, they trusted her and loved her and began to thrive again." P.M.

Our Mission

Emma's Place is Staten Island's only not-for-profit Grief and Loss Center for children and families. Every community deserves grief and loss support.
